About Zany

Zany has been with the rescue for some time now and successfully completed heartworm treatment, testing negative after. While we haven't performed a DNA test, she shows strong characteristics of a Cattledog and Pitbull mix, which is common in this region. She’s an intelligent and loyal companion, easily trainable but sometimes playfully forgets commands. Zany is dog-friendly, exhibiting both submissive and dominant behaviors depending on the situation. She has been a valuable asset in dog testing, known for her calm demeanor around other dogs, especially those with guarding problems. However, she does possess a herding instinct and is likely to chase horses, cattle, or cats. Zany is very sociable and enjoys meeting new people. At around five years old and weighing about 70 pounds, she could shed a few pounds to reach a healthier weight. She’s house-trained and would thrive in a loving home. What are you waiting for?
